Steps for industrial plant electrical system design

摘要

The main objective of this study is to determine the design steps of an industrial plant electrical system in the light of energy availability, continuity, safety and economic equipment selection. This study is not only dealing with design steps, but also analyzing alternative solutions with their positive and negative impacts. Steps to be given in the following paragraphs will reduce possible system design delaying, equipment selection and quotation. As it is known, the engineering data and selected configuration during design stage will be used for electrical system cost estimation. The final equipment cost will be obtained after detailed engineering design completion. But differences between estimation and final costs are not so high if a methodology is followed as It is given in this study.
